Help (29)

I've never been financially successful.

Jobs came and gone, nothing worth fighting for and pay was always hard.

Rasing my son on my own only added to the load and at times it was a struggle just to eat.

I constantly worried about CPS coming and taking from me the one thing I cared about and when I lost this job I knew that this would be the thing that broke me.

I had no money for food and even if I did it would have to go to the overwhelming rent.

I had nothing and for a moment I just wanted to die and be done with this.

But I had to keep going if not for me then Liam.

He's only four and I'm all he knows. I can't give up.

Not now.

I drop him off at day care only to be stopped by the teacher about paying.

I informed her that I would pay as soon as possible and went out to find a job.

Reed's POV

A little back story.

I've always had the world at my feet.

A strong alpha from a wealthy family.

Smart, handsome, funny, and rich.

I never had a shortage of women and men begging to mate with me just to say they were.

But I've never wanted to. Never saw anyone I wanted to fuck twice.

I've always wanted a family but my extremely low tolerance for people made that impossible.

Until about three minutes ago.

I pulled the application almost out of curiosity, just to see what kind of person it was. Who somehow managed to be so ill fitted and unqualified for the job he was applying to.

I never had any intention of hiring him but the moment he walked into my office, I felt something snap deep inside me.

Now I've never believed in love at first sight but, at that moment I wanted him.

His eyes were a bright blue and stood out against his thick brown hair.

He was slightly tall but had a thin frame like an average salary man.

He was pale but color seemed to feel his cheeks often.

His hands looked soft and his lips looked kissable.

Screw fucking more the once, I wanted this man in my kitchen making breakfast for our offspring.

I wanted him.

I wanted to see if our kids would take after him or me.

I secretly hoped him and at that moment. The alpha in me came out.

I didn't care about what he wanted, I wanted him and I was set on getting him.

But first the matters at hand.

"So did you even read what you were filling out for?" I ask and he blushes.

"I uh, I really need a job." He says and I smirk.

"You have absolutely no credentials. You're applying for a Job you clearly aren't qualified for and honestly I;" I stop when he barries his head in his hands obviously crying and I instantly feel a burning in my chest.

I wanted, no I needed to protect him.

"I sorry, can I have a moment?" He asked and I sigh standing and grabbing an orange juice from the mini fridge and some tissues.
